Videophones seem to be the benchmark of every generations vision of the future. Yet even in 1993 when AT&T actually launched an actual videophone, it never even remotely caught on whatsoever like, at all.
Even the iChat video feature or whatever the hell it is I have yet to see used, except in porn when I am telling the young aspiring actress exactly what I want her to do with the carrot *yes, now eat it... sloooooooowly... NO. I SAID SLOWLY GODDAMNIT*. Otherwise, the only person I have ever seen use the video chat computer thing to actually, ya know, chat, is my Hungarian roommate, The German, and I think that is only because her feeble foreign mind is dazzled by the thought of miniature people inside her computer.
"How is it, Flatmate Nicholas, that they can fit such miniature goats and the entire village of Haungaria inside of the computer-box-machine?"
"Shhhh... don't you worry your pretty little head with such big ideas. Here, have some more melba-toast and go back under the table where you belong."
"YAY. American Melba-Breads!" *giggles excitedly at the sight of melba-toast before rushing away and burying it in the backyard in hopes of growing a mythical melba-toast plant*
So yes, in conclusion, lets give up these silly fantasies of videophones and melba-toast kingdoms in the sky.
